Weekend Edition: More PR Than Money Can Buy

It’s a false statement and I suspect even those who employ it, know it.

It’s not about policing, it’s about leading and the two are far different things. Now, perhaps more than ever before, the world needs a leader.

Obama doesn’t think so and neither do his followers.

Ron Paul doesn’t think so either and, of course, neither do HIS followers.

They are wrong. Dead wrong. And if we’re not careful, we’ll all be dead because they’re wrong.

Since the beginning of this nation, we have been that leader. In the war of independence, we defeated the world’s most powerful military force. Was it a fluke? Clearly, they thought so across the pond and so, they tested us again in the war of 1812.

We defeated them again.

Some thought that the war between the states would be our end. It wasn’t. In fact, it made us stronger.

Yes, there have been times when we stumbled…Korea…we stumbled. Vietnam? Yes, we stumbled.

Those were wars, on the world stage, battles.

While stumbling in the battles, on the world stage, we were still the leaders. The cold war loomed through both those conflicts and those who thought maybe we had lost our resolve found that, under Kennedy, we had certainly not.

While Nixon stumbled at home, on the world stage, he opened doors. Because we were the world’s strength, China and the Soviet Union, the world’s other two powers, began at least, to talk to us.

Reagan, through firm and unwavering resolve, won the cold war without firing a shot.

“Mr. Gorbachev…TEAR DOWN THIS WALL.”

It wasn’t that we made friends everywhere around the world. Those who were not our friends were, most decidedly, NOT our friends.

World leaders don’t need to be liked to lead.

We were respected.

Some feared us but in that fear, was respect.

Some did NOT fear us NOR did they respect us. THEY saw a lack of resolve. THEY thought that the nations THERY invaded weren’t worth our time or effort.

Saddam found out different in the early 1990’s. Kuwait WAS worth our time and effort and so was he.

Through the 8 years of Clinton’s presidency, he was stumbling, personally, and he turned the leadership roll over to the United Nations. Islamists were at war with us and we were NOT at war with them. The United Nations, like toothless dogs, passed resolution after resolution.

Emboldened by a leadership vacuum, Islamists attacked on 9-11.

Saddam, who had been put back in his box a decade earlier, thumbed his nose at the toothless United Nations.

They thought we had lost our resolve.

They were wrong.

And then, Obama.

He starts before his election by stating that the Muslim world would like us again just because of his mere presence. He begins his term with an apology tour. He goes to Cairo, invites the Muslim Brotherhood to be his guests and gives a speech.

He bows to other nation’s leaders.

He apologizes for American strength and exceptionalism.

Obama believed then, and now, that NO nation should have a station higher than any other on the world’s stage.

He set timelines for withdrawal.

He wouldn’t call things what they were. The “War on Terror” became…”Overseas Contingency Plans.” “Terror Attacks” became…”Man Made Disasters.”

The Fort Hood Terrorist Attack…”Workplace Violence.”

Obama wanted TERRORISTS tried in United States civilian courts where they would be protected by the rights afforded to United States citizens.

Obama threatened to prosecute those who, through waterboarding, attained intell from captured terrorists.

Obama was going to shut down GITMO and find a jail in the United States to hold those who had been captured.

Obama got bin Laden and turned the Doctor who had helped identify his whereabouts over to the Pakistan government and he made sure that bin Laden had as proper a Muslim funeral as possible.

Obama, in his campaign of drone attacks, killed Awlaki and then, sent a letter of condolence to the family.

Our enemies have been watching. They have seen Obama’s lack of resolve. They know the United Nations has no teeth.

Lead from behind? Yes. Obama led from behind and we watched as the flag of our enemy then flew in Benghazi.

Mubarak must go? Yes. We watched as the “Arab Spring” manifested in Cairo. We listened as Hillary Clinton told us that the Muslim Brotherhood was moderate. We heard Obama tell the world that the brotherhood should have a seat at the table.

That Brotherhood, the same that wants to dissolve the Egypt/Israel peace accord now runs Egypt from their seat at the table turned seat of power.

Iran, emboldened by Obama’s lack of resolve, now threatens Israel like never before and THEY watch while Obama refuses to meet with Netanyahu and refuses to draw a red line to stop THEIR resolve to develop nuclear weapons.

Our enemies have watched nearly 4 years of Obama’s foreign policy of appeasement and apologies and then came, 9-11-2012.

Islamists attacked our consulate in Benghazi, killing our Ambassador, a diplomat and 2 Navy Seals and how did Obama respond?

He issued a statement from the Rose Garden, condemning a 15 minute movie, reissued an apology and flew to Las Vegas to fund raise for his campaign.

For nine days…WE watched and listened.

Jay Carney: “This is a fairly volatile situation, and it is in response not to U.S. policy, not to, obviously, the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video – a film – that we have judged to be reprehensive and disgusting. That in no way justifies any violent reaction to it. But this is not a case of protests directed at the United States, writ large, or at U.S. policy. This is in response to a video that is offensive and – to Muslims.”

Hillary Clinton: “To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible. It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose to denigrate a great religion and provoke rage. But as we said yesterday, there is no justification — none at all — for responding to this video with violence.”

Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations: “In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated. We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo.”

And then, after 9 days…

On Friday, Matthew Olsen, director of the U.S. National Counter-terrorism Center, told the Senate, “I would say yes, they were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy.”

Jay Carney said, “It is, I think, self evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.”

From Hillary Clinton…“What happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.”

The only one who HASN’T changed their tune to what WE all knew from the moment of the attack, is Obama himself.

Why?

Because, next week, from the podium at the United Nations, we now know that he will, again, blame the movie and this week, he’s spending OUR taxpayer money to run $70,000.00 of commercials in Egypt to “denounce” that movie.

The 15 minute You Tube trailer for a low budget movie which virtually nobody has seen is getting publicity it could never, in a million years, afford to buy, from the PR firm of Obama, Clinton, Rice and Carney and next week, the head of that firm will publicize the very movie THEY claim INFLAMES our enemies from the pulpit of the United Nations.

It’s been 12 days since the act of war in Benghazi and what has Obama done there? He sent the FBI to investigate a crime scene rather than the United States military to secure the scene and the FBI can’t even GET to Benghazi because it’s too dangerous there.

Guess who is watching.

Our enemies no longer fear us.

Our allies no longer trust us.

Neither respect us.

And the only resolve we have left to show the world, is the resolve that we MUST show on November 6th when we VOTE the Islamists favorite PR firm OUT of office lock, stock and barrel.

Ratchell, a plan to destroy this country began a long time back. Over time, the evil plan waxed and waned because good men stepped in when it looked like they were winning. The evil plan was hindered, went underground and grew like a malignant vine of cancer. It continued to surface with Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Johnson, and even Clinton. All the ‘tweeners” did their best to put things right and snuff it out. Everything I need to know about Islam, the religion of peace and tolerance, I learned on 9/11/2001. Bush went after those people and imperfect as all men are, he tried to push back. In 2006, a change of power took over both house and senate when Dems took both back. Financial collapse of housing market and stock market made it virtually impossible for him to overcome and with not any support from congress, the evil plan found a new opening and they crawled through it and along came obama and his plans to do what others could not….he ran on race, hope and change. He used race as a divider, hope was hype, and change was HIS DEFINITION, not America’s definition. He has blinded the eyes of many, empowered those who would do evil to thrive an multiply their numbers. He has lied, deceived and allowed himself to declare war on America, our Constitution, our Freedoms, and following a blueprint that explicitly details how to destroy America forevermore….became a fruit-producing reality. It is no longer a dream, it is reality, and will come to total fruition if he is given 4 more years. The reason he got this far is that over time, the passion of the forefathers waned and softened incrementally. When obama won office, we were all asleep at the wheel. We saw he wasn’t right, but it was THE HOPE FOR CHANGE that people voted for……so now he thinks, as do his minions, that he is Messiah and “The One”. Well, his change is not what we hoped for, and I am so glad I never fell for anything he said and did not cast my vote for him in 2008. Nor will I in 2012. What is going to bring about real change is when you realize that along the way, American’s lost their faith in God and Country. God was shoved out of the schools and education went to hell without the handbasket. One lady did that all by herself….she made it happen….and now small groups are screaming loudest and longest until the will of the people is shut down and these people are given their way. We sat by and accepted it rather than rock the boat. Now our boat is sinking. Silence in the presence of evil brings our defeat. But Thank God, we are not silent anymore. In 44 days, we have a choice, as Craig says……VOTE THIS BUNCH OUT AND VOTE ROMNEY/RYAN IN. TO WASTE A VOTE WITH A WRITE IN VOTE FOR SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO WASTE MY VOTE TOO, TO CANCEL IT OUT.

So polls are skewed, lame stream media lies, Romney isn’t perfect….nothing new here….except Romney knows business, he loves OUR GOD, he loves America, he is a patriot, he is not a supporter of Islam, and He can turn this sinking ship around. I KNOW THIS BY FAITH. I BELIEVE GOD HELPED FOUND THIS NATION, FOR ALL HER FAULTS AND FLAWS, AND AS HE LOVES ISRAEL, HE LOVES AMERICA TOO AND HE WILL SPARE US BECAUSE OF THE PRAYERS OF THE RIGHTEOUS.

So you have to make a choice, join us to move evil out, and TRUST GOD TO USE ROMNEY TO SAVE AMERICA ONE MORE TIME. THE CHOICE IS YOURS…….but if you want to be inspired to feel reassured, come join Catholics, Christians, Anglicans and Jews who are fighting to vote obama out now. http://www.facebook.com/groups/stopbho It is a great place to start finding HOPE AGAIN…..HOPE THAT LEADS TO FAITH AND GRACE.

Thanks, Craig for another great word…….hugs ……. hope to meet you soon Ratchell……… 😉

We can vote, o sure. But guess what? They go by their silly little polls now and by computer generated rigging of votes. Splain to me where Romney is better than Obama and Reagan was better than Bush? Splain to me why its all about public perception and not what the public actually has to say? Explain to me why we have done this for 150 years and havent changed a God Blessed thing?

Many Americans assumed the Confederate flag was retired for good after governors in South Carolina and Alabama removed it from their statehouses this summer and presidential candidates from both parties declared it too divisive for official display.

President Barack Obama will impose steeper cuts on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants across the country than previously expected, senior administration officials said Sunday, in what the president called the most significant step the U.S. has ever taken to fight global warming.

Less than a week before a bushel of 2016 Republican presidential hopefuls square off for the first time in two Fox News debates, billionaire businessman Donald Trump is holding firm to his primary lead -- while his lower-polling rivals battle for visibility in hopes of making the cut for the prime-time stage.
